yea, importing is a bitch, get it from the uk, they chsrge u import tax and vat, they sprung an extra 70 quid on me at the last minute, have you seen the new 24seven darkangel sl?

Even if you were unlucky enough to get the the extra 70 thats still only 400. The SL is quite nice but it looks big for some reason, its a 24/7 and you can't run rim brakes. They are the way forward guys.

hmm, yea, the extra moneys worth it, rims brakes = no nackered rotors and no bleeding or any of that

i have ordered cranks now, i got some we the people royal cranks in white, with a bb to fit, a profile imperial sprocket, and my wheels

i spoke to the guy at cyclesport and he sed the rims i was gonna get were to weak for my hubs so i had to get sun BFR in black cos they dont make them in chrome and i had to get 36 spoke instead of 48

What no 48 and no chrome what did you get?
And yes you can get um 48 and chrome...

Is it not too late to get those black box 48 hole chrome rims they'd build into a much better wheel?

yea, its to late, i got 36 spoke BFRs, should still be strong tho, it made sense to get them all from the same shop as theyre building them up for free and free p+p theyll do for a while, when i get sick of the not so good braking ill get a new freecoaster wheel built up on those, but cant now.

Yeah, unless you can cancel, get the freecoaster in 48 and with a chrome.

thats more money, i need to stick with the budget at the mo, ill upgrade later on in the year, but defs before the summer

How's the build coming along. Will it be ready before half term?

yea, should be, it will be brakeless though, but i can live with that, if its terrible i can bodge a brake cos i got an old BMX i can jack one off, the wheels, cranks, bb and sprocket are coming this week, cos all i need are pedals and seating
